• None of these compare to Dairy Queen's signature desert [sic], the Blizzard. This delectable treat pairs vanilla ice cream with your choice of toppings such as Oreo's, Cookie Dough, M & M's, ect [sic], blended together for a cup full of delicious ice cream. It's not too good for your body but is perfect for your soul. – rancid1993, Epinions.com
• I recommend this restaurant as a special treat for some icecream [sic], or for lunch for a full meal! – boringmonkey23, Epinions.com
